waited -- they are waiting until their business model shows revenue and probably profit so it would be fascinating to look at the income statement. so it's kind of -- facebook went public too soon and they were screwed up in the mobile area and i think twitter is probably timing it about right. i do understand that they have been talking to the new york stock exchange for two years about an ipo so it will definitely happenen. >> facebook came out greater in terms of revenue than what you described for twitter but my rule of thumb, francis, is the sexier the ipo sounds, the father i want to get away from it. >> it will probably gap at the opening when the social media companies were going public a couple years ago, what would happen, groupon is one of them, came public 2008 and ten other ones including facebook, what they did is they achieved their peak price in the first 15 to 30 minutes and never saw it again. it will be an interesting company, definitely not buy it in the first 15 minutes.

money. so i'm figuring they make the money and i don't. >> well, certainly that's what we look at. black stone has a reasonable reputation, pretty good reputation with the ipo. they don't bring all the stock public, a little bit. they might in this case come public with 10 or 15%. what they want to do is have the stock go up so their remaining shares go up. hilton is a good example to look for. you want to look for a brand and look at top line revenue. you want visibility, which you certainly have and you want to look at the price earnings multiple. there is enough companies in the category we'll be able to see when they file financials, whether over priced or reasonably priced. >> okay. a lot of good tips there. francis of ipo desktop. coming up, what is a small business owner to do when purchasing made in america
